Ty's Obsession

I was holding my breath when I started this third book in the 'Whispering Pines Ranch' series. Lorcan and Quinn caused a lot of damage to other people on their path to love, and Ty is one of those people. Ty so desperately wanted someone, Quinn, to accept his full submission, and to want Ty for himself. Unfortunately, that wanting turned into obsession and behavior that harmed Ty more than anything. Blake is exactly who, and what, Ty needs and deserves.

"He had learned as a small boy that caring about people caused pain much more consequential than any physical injury ever could."

All I ever wanted to do with Ty was hold him and reassure him that he was worthy of love. It broke my heart to see him so out of control, not knowing how to handle his broken heart, that he funneled it all into rage, hatred, and ugliness directed at Lorcan. It was so easy to tell that this isn't the kind of man Ty really is because his feelings often frightened and upset him. It has been weeks since Ty has had any physical relief and he heads to The Push where he runs into Blake Henderson, the arrogant, domineering cowboy Ty had already met out on the range, so to speak. The first (official) meeting doesn't go the way Ty, or Blake, planned, but Blake isn't about to give up on this guy who intrigues him to no end.

Ty may be a natural submissive, but considering his first Dom was a sadistic psychopath, who inadvertently taught Ty to never get his heart involved, and after him Ty played, never having a Dom of his own, it's no wonder that what Blake introduces him to is confusing at first. Ty knows how to be submissive. In fact he revels in it, for an hour or so at a time. Blake challenges him in ways Ty isn't always sure he likes, but when push comes to shove, he realizes how much this man, his Dom, means to him. Now, Blake is not without his own issues, and carries grief from a significant loss two years before. But Blake recognizes exactly how well he and Ty work, and Blake isn't going to lose this man who has come to mean so much, in such a short time.

'Ty's Obsession' is a beautifully written story about two broken men, each needing the other, but both too blind to see it until life forces them to. The fact that I know I will see Ty and Blake again is one of the things keeping me from being sad that I finished their story. The other? Seeing them find each other, fall in love, and have the future neither one dared to dream of.

Review of Ty's Obsession

By Jymbo on Mar 15, 2012 09:03

SJD Peterson weaves us yet another story of love and intrigue, tempting the reader to jump ahead to quickly learn the outcome of each unique situation unfolding on the pages, yet we are forced to slowly devour every single one of the delicious words written for fear of passing by a precious little detail needed for everything to pull together.
Ty is blind to the fact that he has embarked on a path that could very well lead to the destruction of himself and everything close to him. A new character, Blake, becomes engrossed with Ty and discovers his misguided anger and although Blake harbors his own demons, he is determined to help Ty wrestle his. Through twists and turns of emotional turmoil embedded in both men, something develops that neither expects, nor desires. To say more would certainly destroy your enjoyment of this third novel in the Whispering Pines Ranch series. However, if you were entertained by the first two stories, you are going to thoroughly enjoy Jos development and conclusion to this one; if you can consider it a conclusion.
This edition of the series is primarily focused on Ty, but we do see a heartwarming growth in Lorcan & Quinns relationship.
I was first introduced to Jo as a friend on Facebook while searching for new authors to read. When I read that Lorcans Desire was Jos first published work I just had to read it and I immediately fell in love with the characters. In a conversation with another Facebook friend I likened Jos words to those I was required to read in High School English class; The Catcher in the Rye and A Separate Peace. Now I have to include in that The Lord Of The Rings, such is the overpowering dominance of Jos characterizations and ability to show the reader precisely what is happening and why!
I am looking forward to reading many more stories by SJD Peterson
